Case Summary
Federal prosecutors allege that Jenna McGrath and her sister Laura McGrath entered the U.S. Capitol building through the Senate Wing Door a little after 3:26 pm on Jan. 6, 2021. It's unclear from court filings how long they spent inside; however, they were later seen in open-source video outside the building on the Upper West Terrace chanting "Our house!" with a crowd of protestors. McGrath was arrested on Jan. 11, 2024.
